The Emotional Resilience Lab

UNIT 1: Self-Awareness & Emotional Literacy

Helping kids understand what they’re feeling—so they can choose how to respond.

This unit gives students the tools to name and track their emotions with confidence. They’ll learn to notice their own emotional “early warning signs,” connect feelings to behaviors, and build a stronger awareness of what’s happening in their bodies and brains. This foundation supports calmer responses—whether they're in a classroom, on the playground, or navigating big feelings at home.

UNIT 2: Self-Regulation & Brain-Body Tools

Teaching kids how to shift their state—so they can stay calm, recover quickly, and return to connection.

Students learn practical strategies for managing overwhelming emotions and getting back to center. We introduce simple breathwork, movement, mindfulness, and sensory tools in a way kids can actually use. They build personalized toolkits that help them feel more in control during real-life moments of frustration, sadness, excitement, or anxiety—whether during math class, at bedtime, or in the backseat of the car.

UNIT 3: Social Awareness & Communication

Supporting kids in expressing their needs and understanding others.

This unit helps students tune into the social world around them. Through stories, modeling, and play-based activities, they learn how to read body language, listen actively, and speak up respectfully. These skills help kids navigate friendships, group projects, family dynamics, and everyday situations where communication and compassion make all the difference.

UNIT 4: Relationships & Conflict Repair

Equipping kids to move through conflict without shutting down or lashing out.

Rather than avoiding peer struggles or sibling fights, this unit teaches kids how to work through them with curiosity and care. They’ll practice meaningful apologies, learn how to repair relationships after hurt, and build tools for navigating sticky moments with empathy. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s resilience and repair, both in and out of the classroom.

UNIT 5: Responsible Decision-Making

Helping kids become more thoughtful, flexible, and self-led.

In our final unit, students explore what it means to take ownership of their choices in a way that builds confidence—not shame. They practice pausing before reacting, considering the ripple effects of their actions, and staying steady even when plans change or friends disagree. These lessons strengthen personal responsibility at school, at home, and in everyday decision-making.
